Barney the Purple Dinosaur Picks up his Chinese Take Out Order

Finally! The video that you have all been waiting for. Barney and the Chinese Take Out Order!

Now, because of the fact that I am too stupid to figure out how to edit three videos into one, you will be blessed to see three separate videos. This first video is of me ordering the Chinese food over the phone as Barney. As you can see, the Barney suit is tattered and torn into something that resembles Barney's evil cousin, Larry. This Barney costume is over 20 years old and has been used in numerous gags just like this over the years. Needless to say, this Barney suit has had quite the history.

The next video was taken by a ten-year-old neighbor girl that went into the Chinese place with me and my son. I was very worried that the owner would call the police thinking I was going to rob the place. I thought if I brought a couple kids in with me, they would be less likely to call the police. I was very nervous - much more nervous than my other stunts, in fact. It did not help that the girl that was working the register was extremely attractive and not amused at all. Anyway, I apologize for the spinning, but it was a hidden camera held by a ten-year-old.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I cannot quit laughing!!! I'm serious! This is NUTS! I would've been SO NERVOUS to go inside that restaurant. I would have had to have had some vodka and something else FOSHIZZLE. I know you are not a vodka man, so I am even MORE impressed that you did this! I love that your boys are so excited to see their dad act the fool! I absolutely LOVE it and can't quit laughing about it. You are awesome, Cheeseboy. Absolutely awesome.

a) You're brave.b) You're crazy.c) I laughed!!!!d) That girl at the counter WAS snotty. If only she knew what was in her restaurant!!!e) My favorite part was hearing the kids with you giggle. They will never forget this! :o)

This post was definitely worth the wait. Priceless. I loved how you said "I don't think there's an 'e'" (in your name) and how your son let the door smack you, so he could get a good picture. I don't know how that girl could've been so straight faced. She looked like she serves Barney all the time. Great job, Cheeseboy. Thanks for the laughs.xoRobyn

Thanks for the laugh. Funny stuff. On a serious note, if you have a Mac and use the free software on it, just drag and drop your videos to string them together. But, I thought it was funnier as 3 with the comments between.

That is HILARIOUS! I love that the girl behind the counter looked up and didn't react at all as you walked into the place... like Barney stopping by happens all the time!! LMAO!!! As AC/DC once said.. You've got big balls!!

I was laughing even before I watched the videos. I loved watching the reactions of the other people. I was waiting for you to get in a fight with the guy that stepped on your tail. But that would be so unBarneylike I guess. Great job Cheese.

That is very funny. I admire your courage in wearing a Barney suit in public. That is kind of like wearing a bullseye walking around an archery range. There are millions of parents who have been conditioned to lose it when they hear that voice or see the purple suit.

I type this as a blizzard works its way into Chicagoland. Tomorrow has already been declared a snow day. I have now found the means by which I will entertain The Cherubs when we are homebound. From the bottom of my heart, Cheese, I thank you.

Excellent. Not sure how it took me so long to get over here to watch! Love that the door almost hit you in the face as you came out! You better start teaching your boys some chivalry! :-) Even if it is for a dinosaur! haha

Hi, Abe! I just stumbled upon your blog and, obviously, decided to become a follower! I love humor blogs where people do things for others' reactions and stuff like that, so this blog seems like it'll be my cup of tea. Oh wait, I don't drink tea...let's rephrase: This blog seems like it'll be my cup of noodles!

Wow that costume looks pretty good - makes me want to break out in song "I WUV YOU, YOU WUV ME!". I have always wondered and now you are the guy to ask - What does Barney smell like on the INSIDE? W.C.C.

My favorite post all day - I've been waiting for this one! I don't know what made me laugh more - the slightly perverted smile of a happy guy in the first video or the dude tripping over you in the second. Oh and the door hitting you as you came out.

OMG that is hilarious! I just found you by way of Joann and I am so please! I must introduce you to the other cheese blogs. Do you know Nicky and Mike from We Work for Cheese http://www.weworkforcheese.com/ if you don't you must meet!

Excellent, very nicely done! Looked like the Barney outfit could use some dental work, but let's not nit pick. The cashier did look annoyed but she was probably hoping that Barney Rubble would appear. Maybe for your 1,000th follower you can pull that one off. Thanks for the pay-off, great job!

That was a first-rate stunt, mate! I assume you were waving at kids inside the diner? As for the "hidden" camera work of the 10-year-old, it's not very hidden when everyone can see it. And not very necessary to hide it when two other kid-size-paparazzi are taking your picture like crazy.

Awesome! It may be the auditor in me, but having the phone call come in while you placed the order, made me wonder if you were really on the phone. Having the kids with you in the restaurant was great, too!
